I have not yet looked at the plugin, but my idea was to let the OS handle directory size calculations, on both platforms.
on Mac/Unix du -c returns text which looks something like this (desktop folder size): 10472072 <tab> /Users/<username>/Desktop/<some file/directory> 27426552 <tab> /Users/<username>/Desktop as I understand the DOS command 'dir', and my simple test in cmd.exe. Dir <path> /S --- returns the current directory, and sub directories, listing, with a total of ALL file and sub-directory sizes. the last 3 lines of this (assuming the result is text) look like this: Total Files Listed: 2678 File(s) 1,839,599,592 bytes 2924 Dir(s) 369,796,022,272 bytes free given that, it is simple to parse out the total directory size (2678 File(s) 1,839,599,592 bytes) On Thu, 2 Nov 2017 08:42:38 +0000, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech wrote: > I looked up the internet, it turns out we really have to traverse the > directory tree... > given the atomic nature of LEP, it might not be the best way to > calculate the total size of files in a folder. > > here is plugin with an option to abort: > > https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-get-folder-size > > > > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com > ********************************************************************** --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
